vVAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,040, dated February 12, 1895.

Application led .Tnly 23, 1894. Serial No. 518,340. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, HARRY S. GILES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Burners; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to improvements in vapor burners and it is an improvement on Letters Patent granted to me on the th day of September, 1892, and numbered 482,920, and it consists inproviding a central feed tube and a perforated cap or sprayer therefor, all as will be hereinafter fully explained and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

The annexed drawings, to which reference -is made, fully illustrate my invention, in

which- Figure 1 represents a vertical sectionalview of my device, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings A, designates the oil receptacle or chamber having the flaring interior and eX- terior walls a, a vertical pipe b formed integral therewith, the lower end c of which is female screw threaded to receive the male threads d on the end of the oil pipe e, which latter has ashut off valve f whereby the llow of oil is regulated from the tank g. To this pipe -e, is secured the drip saucer or pan h, beneath the burners or arms t', which latter are connected to the pipe or nipple b by the male threads on the inner end thereof engaging female threads in the lower portion of the pipe b aforesaid.

B, represents the 'oil feed pipe, the lower end of which screwsinto the end j of the pipe e and forms an extension or continuous feed for the oil up to or near the roof on the inside of said chamber. The upper end of this vertical feed pipe B, has male screw threads, to which is screwed a sprayer or perforated cap lla-whereby when the oil is permitted to flow into the chamber it will leave the pipe B, in the form of a spray and be equally distributed in that form about the inside of the chamber. A plug u, is screwed into an open ing in the top of this chamber and when removed permits access to the interior thereof and to the removable cap. Within this chamber is placed asbestos or other suitable material for the purpose of taking up sediment or foreign matter in the oil. It will thus be seen from the above'description and by reference to the annexed drawings that in operation, the valve is turned, permitting the oil to flow from the tank and into the chamber through the perforated cap or sprayer thus spraying the oil in every direction against the inside wall of the chamber, greatly hastening vaporizing and an equalization of the outpour of oil into the chamber.

In starting the llameythe oil is permitted to flow from the tank m and into the chamber, down the pipe b and out the jet opening Z, into the saucer or pan h, saturating some asbestos laid within said pan. Then the flow of oil is shut off, and a flame from said asbestos causes the chamber above to become heated, and the oil is again turned on. The oil is then sprayed in said chamber and becomes immediately and uniformly vaporized, passing down the pipe b and out of the jet openings Z in the arms c' into a flame. The valve should be turned on sufliciently to give a small quantity of oil t0 the chamber, thus continuing the' vaporizing, and the interior walls of the chamber being on a slant or flarin g, serve to greatly increase the vapor, which strikes the sides uniformly in the shape of a spray. The flow of oil as well as the fia'mecan be regulated or entirely cut off by the valve, and-the cap la being removable permits access to the pipe B, for cleaning the same as well as the interior of the cap andavapor burner as herein described is durable, easily and quickly operated.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secu re by Let-ters Patent, 1s

The vapor burner herein described consisting of the chamber having flaring walls ter# minating in a vertical pipe having a screw threaded end to connect with the screw threads of the valved supply pipe having the drip pan, the burner being connected to the vertical pipe of the chamber, the feed pipe vertically arranged in the chamber and its ICO pipe, said feed pipe extending near to the top of Said chamber in connection with the plug thereof, the feed pipe being provided with a screw threaded lower and upper end, the for- 111er of which connects with the screw threads of the supply pipe-a removable perforated screw threaded cap connected to the screw threaded upper end of said pipe, whereby the iiow of oil through said cap is sprayed against the Haring wall of the chamber to better reguro late Vaporization, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HARRY S. GILES.
